Disturbing Threat to María Corina Machado in Caracas

María Corina Machado, a prominent opposition leader against Nicolás Maduro's regime, has raised alarms after a disturbing incident at her home in Los Palos Grandes, Caracas. The opposition figure alerted through her social media that 'unidentified men' were trying to force their way into her home, even threatening to detain neighbors and the security guard.

The situation has generated concern among sectors of the opposition and human rights defenders, who view this episode as indicative of the climate of repression in the country. In a recent interview, Machado stated that Venezuela is controlled by a gang connected with cartels and enemies of the United States.

Machado's party, Vente Venezuela, corroborated the report through its official account, stating that the 'unidentified subjects' continued with the threats. According to the statement, this incident represents a 'systematic pattern of harassment and persecution' against the opposition leader and constitutes a clear violation of private property. Machado's alert message was accompanied by a strong title: 'ALERT.'

This incident occurred after Machado denounced that the Chavista regime holds power due to Maduro's ties with criminal organizations and enemies of the United States.
